Hi,
My name is Dominique and I hate to even come on here and ask for help, but I desperately need it. About a month ago, I had to choose between nursing school or work, and being that it is extremely difficult to get into nursing school and I’m already enrolled in a program, I took a chance and moved away to be a full-time student with a crazy schedule. At that time, I was able to work Uber/Lyft on my own time to make some funds to keep up with food and bills. Shortly after my move, I found out I was pregnant, expecting my rainbow baby. After a few concerns, it had led me to two ER visits which indicated I was having an ectopic pregnancy but was sent home to follow up with OB. Once seeing my OBGYN, they actually found out there were TWINS. What a shocker. My whole world changed, and I expected to figure out the unthinkable with two babies on the way and being a full-time nursing student. With me being so high risk, I followed up with doctors weekly and had multiple lab appointments to check my levels, leaving all my free time to be spent at hospitals. When I went in for a check-up on Wednesday, 6/18/25, I was told what no one wants to hear: both babies didn’t have a heartbeat. My heart sunk to the floor, and it was time to make a decision on my next step. At this point, I was already denied cash assistance and food assistance from the state. I have to have an emergency D&C to remove all the tissue in my uterus and begin the horrific healing process of all this. It was determined that my health insurance, which terminates the day of surgery, is not contracted with the only hospital I can have procedures done at, leaving me with possibly paying out of pocket. All of this has left me behind on my bills the last few weeks, and I do not know when I am able to return to Uber/Lyft to continue putting food on my table or finding a job that can work with my hectic schedule. At this time, I need to focus on my physical and emotional healing. In this desperate time of need, I am asking for prayers, donations, and support from you all to continue. If you are unable to donate, sharing can go a long way. This is a road I beg no one has to walk on; it’s been nothing shy of easy. I appreciate everyone for reading my story and considering helping me through. I have a heart of gold, and when I can, I will always give back ❤️
